You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
|
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
|
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:
|
|
Distant lover, darlin', ooo hoo hoo
|
So many miles away, ooo please
|
Oh please, baby, think about me
|
Hey, in misery
|
Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life
|
That we shared together
|
The promises we made, baby
|
Of the day you left, child
|
Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode
|
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo
|
|
Distant lover, ooo, sugar
|
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
|
Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream
|
Of what I spent with you
|
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby
|
Lord have mercy!
|
|
Oh baby, don't go
|
Please come back, baby
|
Ooo, something I wanna say
|
When you left to go away
|
No 'ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream
|
Please! Please, oh please baby
|
Come back home, girl
|
Oh baby, come back
|
Oh oh
|
